Give hens the right housing 
conditions and they’ll lay and 
pay this winter. A cold, wet 
house means sick hens,feweggs, 
wasted feed, and lost opportu¬ 
nities formakingmoney. James- 
way will tell you how to get good 
conditions if your present house 
is not satisfactory. If you are go¬ 
ing to build a new house, send for the James 
way Poultry House Building and Ventilation Book.

ing a Jamesway Ventilating System at once—no wait

Frost-proof Device for 
Poultry Water System 
We wish to lay %-in. pipe to convey 
water to our colony brooder houses so 
that they may be safe from freezing, and 
allow of removal to a new location. A. 
plumber tells us to lay the pipe in a shal¬ 
low' trench, protected by an A-shaped in¬ 
verted trough, and cover with sawdust. 
He says he has noticed that a wide board 
flat on the ground protects from frost, 
while it will freeze deeply around it. Can 
you tell us how to do it cheaply and 
easily? This w’ould mean a great saving 
of labor could one use an automatic wa¬ 
tering device in each house, or even a 
drip. A. R. M. 
Stratham, N. H. 
It has been my experience that w’ater 
pipes will freze and cause more or less 
trouble in cold weather unless buried be¬ 
low the frost line and connected with 
frost-proof hy It ants. No doubt the A- 
shaped trough inverted over the pipes and 
covered with sawdust will protect them 
from freezing during moderately cold 
w'eather, but I certainly could not recom¬ 
mend this method for a New Hampshire 
Winter. Automatic watering devices 
work very nicely in warm weather, but 
they are not practical when the weather 
is freezing cold. c. S. greene. 
Small Incubators; Honey in 
Auto Radiator 
I would like to know what experience 
readers have had with the small i‘ound 
incubators holding 50 or 100 eggs. Can 
they be used in places of varying temper¬ 
atures, as the large ones, etc.? I wish 
also, experiences with honey and water 
in Ford radiators, to keep them from 
freezing. E. R. s. 
New Jersey. 
Such small incubators are not as resis¬ 
tant to changes in temperature as the 
large ones, and should be operated in 
places not subject to marked temperature 
variations. 
Honey and water are used in radiators, 
and the mixture has been recommended 
by one of our State experiment stations 
for that purpose. I have never tried it, 
but have been told that there is danger of 
the honey burning and clogging some part 
of the circulatory system of the engine. 
The idea has never appealed to me as be¬ 
ing a very practical one, and I should 
want to see it pretty thoroughly tried out 
before adopting it. M. b. d. 
Roupy Hens 
I have trouble with my hens. They go 
staggering around the yard, then in a 
short time their eyes begin to swell. I 
would like to know if that is contagious 
or what to do for them. G. M.

beef scrap 
with 
PURE DRY YEAST 
roup, which is a contagious disease, easily 
spreading through the flock. The sick 
birds should be removed and kept by 
themselves until recovered. The eyes may 
be washed out several times daily with 
a solution of boric acid, one ounce to the 
quart, and a 15 per cent solution of 
argyrol, to be obtained from the drug¬ 
gist, may be placed in each eye, two or 
three drops sufficing, once daily after 
they have been cleaned out with the 
boric acid. Itoup is a difficult disease to 
cure and may easily be carried over from 
season to season, making itself evident 
when the weather becomes cold and wet 
in the Fall. M. B. D. 
Blackhead 
I have a flock of turkeys about three 
months old, and they are dying on an 
average of one turkey a day. At first 
they got drowsy and weak, rather dark 
around the head. Sometimes they live 
for a week after the first symptoms and 
sometimes only a day. I find the liver 
affected in every case, sometimes full of 
yellow spots, and sometimes almost en¬ 
tirely yellow, swollen and hard. Is this 
blackhead? B. w.

American Poultry Advocate, Dept. R, Syracuse, N. Y. 
Yes, this is evidently blackhead, and 
if any one can tell you how to check or 
cure it, I am not that one. A preventive 
or a cure has long been sought by scien¬ 
tific investigators and numerous reme¬ 
dies have been suggested by unscientific 
ones, but the disease continues to carry 
off a large proportion of the poults 
hatched each year. Powdered ipecac has 
been though by some investigators to be 
the long-sought cure, but apparently is 
not sustaining the credit at first given it. 
Powdered catechu has also been recom¬ 
mended as a preventive and one or the 
other of these, if administered early and 
continuously, promises as much as any¬ 
thing that I know of ; the promise is not 
such, however, that I feel at all justified 
in waxing enthusiastic over the probable 
outcome if they are given. M. B. d. 
End Losses 
From Lice! 
When setting hens are dusted 
with Pratts powdered lice killer 
the baby chicks do not have lice. 
Not a bird in your flock has to 
have lice or mites. Not one of 
them will have, if you’ll just 
use Pratts. The powder knocks 
lice if you mix it in the dust 
bath. Use the salve on the 
birds’ bodies, or the ointment 
on chicks’ heads. And Pratts 
red mite special will put the 
same swift end to those pests. 
There are two important reasons 
for using Pratts, and not just 
any lice killer. First, because 
Pratts is non-poisonous. Second, 
it has no filler, it's all killer, and 
therefore the most economical.
